FSCJ/FCCJ spring 2011 hopefuls

not to keep coming up with questions. what are the scrub rules. I'm a tall guy and most "unisex" scrubs look like crap and don't fit. I was gonna order me some man scrubs unless you need some kind of "FSCJ official" embroidered scrub.

Things could change, but we are required to wear white uniforms purchased from Meridys: http://www.meridys.com/, Pass code FSCJ7627. They are white tops with an FSCJ patch on the sleeve, white pants and white shoes. We are also required to have a FSCJ logo name pin from Meridys. We did not have to purchase the pants or shoes from Meridys - we could get them anywhere as long as they were all white and leather (no canvas or fabric and no colors). I did buy the pants at Meridys but purchased my shoes locally.

Meridys sizes do not run true - definitely take your measurements and use Meridys size charts before ordering: http://www.meridys.com/images/stories/size_charts/4001_size_chart5.jpg

We also had to purchase a FSCJ blue polo from Florida Specialty to wear with khaki pants during presentations and on the day prior to clinicals. (The day prior to clinicals, you go to the hospital to get your patient's information.) Florida Specialty is located at 4237 Salisbury Road, Suite 401, 904-367-0044.

Again, next term FSCJ could change everything so you may want to wait before you buy.

Thanks for the heads up. They atleast sell the patch on the sleve for $4. Nothing really in merydis fits. I'm 6'8" so pretty much to get the length I need, in their sizing, I should have a 45" waist and weigh 400lbs. aka bedsheet with holes. I'll see what they say but probably get some aviators and apply the patch. Close enough.

The uniforms are customized, including the blue stripes. You will probably need special permission. I have heard of folks being dismissed from Clinicals for less.

Well I got my letter in the mail this past saturday....I didn't get in...I'm out of county (clay) and they said they had 57 out of county canidates. I had 199 points. I think I'm going to go try out SJRCC I get bonus points for being in clay county, everything happens for a reason. Good luck to you all

So sorry to hear that you didn't get in. It is so hard to get into FSCJ when you are out of county. I'm also an out of county applicant. Didn't receive anything yet, but I live in Gainesville, so it may take longer to get here. Did anyone else get a response, positive or negative this weekend?

Irish Nurse,

Hang in there, my mom has always told us, that God doesnt close one door without opening another, to that I add that it sure is "hell" in the hallway some times....I am out of county too, so very likely I will be applying over at SJRCC with you. I had hoped to go to FSCJ this next term however with you I'll just dance around in the hallway for awhile if that doesnt happen..

To everyone else I wish the very best in your results....

I am sorry that you did not get in. I did not realize that the county that you live in matters. Is there a different cut off? Did your letter give you the cut off?

Hey Troops,

With all the folks lurking here , we only have one so far that got a letter of denial....noone has recieved their acceptance packages as of today?? I would have surely thought some of those would have went out in addition....I have said before my opinion and about $1.81 will get you a large cup of coffee @ Mickey D's on a good day....however i was correct in figuring out it would be this week that we would start hearing something....do I get an "Atta Boy" for that call?

I am sorry you did not get in this semester. I, too, have 199 points, so I guess it doesn't look good for me. On the other hand, I do live in the county, so maybe that will make a difference. I can definitely tell you, if I do not get in, then I am going to go talk to them personally. If that doesn't work, then I know, trust and have faith that God has something else in store for me!!!! After I complete my statistics class, hopefully with an A, then I will have three more points next semester when I apply again. Good luck to everyone!!!!

No word or email yet.... Some movement though... god I'm gonna be addicted to email and the mail man the next few days.

Hey Everyone!

I am a Spring 2011 hopeful just waiting for some sort of letter! Any day now, Good luck to everyone! I am sorry for the person that didn't get in, I applied last semester and I didn't get in either just keep trying :)

I'm sorry to hear that, Irish nurse. Good luck. I can't wait to find out my fate.
